Abstract:- In Albania, as a country with high seismic risk, it is very important the design and seismic evaluation of buildings. From the economic perspective there are two opsions: repair or demolition. The opportunity to choose is given by the assessment of their actual condition. In the new and old Albanian design codes, there is no specified procedure about the seismic performance of the existing buildings. This situation becomes even more serious when considering the degradation over the years and structural interventions. For this reason, it is necessary to assess and improve the seismic performance of the choosen typology projects of residential buildings with load bearing masonry in Albania, which are designed in accordance with [KTP 78, 1978; KTP-89, 1989], based on contemporary theories as EN1996, FEMA 440, ATC40. For the improvement of the seismic performance of this type of residential stock with load bearing masonry, we will focus on polymer materials such as FRP (Fibre-reinforced polymers). More specificlly on Glas Fibre-reinforced polymers GFRP.
